Two Veterans Object 60 the Comments OF Civilians
Lnent Pensions.
M. Holston, Chicago Dragons and Frank
Smith, Co. A. 3s.h Wis, send in q vigorous
screed aneBt the comments OF civilians at large
relating 10 the demands Of ex-solders for pen
sions, especially Ia relation TO the phrase. so
frequently used, Of Government paupers."
They say: Who are Government paupers ?
Are we who left our houses and homes when
the country called upon Us, Government pau
pers'f We who fought for years for liberty
that you may live In safety under? The ones
who served in Southern prisons while you lived
at your ease at homel
Are we 'paupers' who are wounded and
crippled for life from too many battlefelds, that
you might live and enjoy tho Union as il is?
And you speak too often of cowards,' as If each
man who asks a pension was coaee-cooler or
rkuiker.
I'VE fought while you were barking behind
a curtain, too cOwardly to fight on either side.
We would have respected you had you had the
nerve TO fight against ms like men, whatever
your principles; but you had no principles.
"You talk about heavy taxes, yet when you
pay for the tobacco that you chew and the
whisky that you drink, you have paid all that
you will be called upon TO pay for yourself
When you have paid that you have paid all you
do pay.
Nobody but towards, we mean the real
towards like you, kick against our Government
paying the crippled and destitute soldiers Of
the Union. We were once the princes Of the
land, but had we been like you, the country
would have been under the slavery il was be-
fore the war. Now, the crippled men Of tho
country, who took mp arms and fought for lib
erty and freedom that you might live, are de-
spised and ill-treated by you. To-day the talk
OF paupcrs' chills our hearts. Tothnk that VIC

ing fire from the 10th III. and 30th Ohio, while
ours is pouring in a left oblique and finally an
enfilading fire. Still they pushed on; the
crisis came; the line on our right is pressed
hard. The boys look frightened and as if they
would give way. The suspense is almost beyond
endurance, for we expect a break on our right.
Pen fails description here of those awful mo-
ments as they pass.
ITO our right. at the angle of the 55th and
10th ILL.,. rustling in the leaves and firm
step is heard. We anxiously look in that di-
rection TO see if our boys are running away.
But no. A whisper goes up the line, It's Gen.
Logan On foot and alone, passing quickly up
the line, saying:
STEADY, BOYS; HOLD THEMp
Confidence is restored in moment. The two
rebel lines that have merged into one solid
mass WAIVER; confusion prevails; they are run
ning-and gone, except the dead and dying.
That determined charge is repeated five times,
and repulsed as often with equal success.
"The question may be asked. Did the timely
presence OF Gen. Logan save the day and the
turning of the flank of his army? i emphati-
cally answer yes. The rebels confronted us
two to one Our boys wero good for one, but il
required the immediate presence Of Gen. Logan
TO whip the two under equal advantages. The
conflict lasted three and half hours, our men
averaging 100 rounds fred by each.
six hundred and sixty-two dead rebels were
counted i'm front of the Fifteenth Corps prin-
cipally in front Of the Second Division; 200
directly in front of the 55th and 10th Ill. and
30th Ohio We captured near 300. ~ of which
were wounded, and three Of them females The
rebel loss was estimated at 5000. Their papers
subsequently admitted n loss of 1000.
1.-The loss in the Fifteenth Corps was 81
killed, 439 wounded mostly slightly, and So
missing-total, 552. The 30;h sustained the
greatest loss Of any one regiment. being the
most exposed. We asked the prisoners how
many they had left, and they said about
another killing Hoods loss within 10 days
has been $4,000. They have fought with un.
paralleled courage and desperation. This may
be called an open field fight, but we had a dc.
cided advantage in the position chosen by
THE sAGAcIoUs LOGAN.
We had no protection except fence. a few
trees and logs, but most of the old veteran:
made every shot count"
In this, as in all other Of our battles. Gen
Logan was a conspicuous figure. and yet have
never seen this fight mentioned in print. The
histories say but little about it, but it is JUS

This venerable organ is interesting to for
eigners rather on account Of its antiquity than
of the matter contained. IL was first men
TONED in the early part Of the eighth century,
and was then q written circular. The date of
transition TO block printing is uncertain. al
though we know the art of printing was prac-
ticed in China before ii was invented in Europe.
The journal has recently taken new lease Of
life, aud is now published in three editions.
The first, called the King PdOu is printed on
yellow paper, and constitutes the official ga
zette Of the Empire. The second, the Hsing-
I'dOu (COmmorcid Journal contains informa-
ton relating TO trade, and is also printed upon
yellow paper. The third, Ftaa- TaOa (PrOria-
cial Journal, is printed on red paper, and con-
sists Of extracts from the other two editions.
The total circulation Of the three issues is
about $1,000 copies, and the editorship is con-
fded TO a committee Of six members Of the
Academy Of Hanlin. That the application OF
mechanics TO the arts aud sciences possesses
some interest 10 the Government of China Is
evident from the fact that few years ago the
Official Gdaette was the medium for Importing
60 the world by means Of an Imperial decree

Of Mr. lungs discovery, we fear it must have

AN OFFICIAL MARRIAGE.
Never Was Wounded Un,II Mule Kicked Him.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In looking
over some of my old army records and papers,
i find the following marriage license granted
by Lieut.-Col. William G. Rhodes, Both Ill.
He had been temporarily put in command at
Adairsville, Ga. in the early part of Novem-
Der. 1864. 1t seems that couple were very
DESTROYS Of getting married. Under the laws
Of Georgia license was needed, but there was
no civil authority TO grant it 10 them, so they
went TO Post Headquarters and asked for one,
and got il in the following form:

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Looking over
q diary that kept during the war, find the
following, which send you just as it was
written at the time, as tribute 10 the gallantry
Of Gen. John A. Logan:
Ezra Chapel, (three and half miles south
Of Atlanta Ga, July g. 1S64.-This morning
our division Second, Fifteenth Corps,l began
10 move slowly TO the southwest, and took up a
position on the extreme right, completing the
formation OF our lines about noon in an advan-
tagcous position. with brisk skirmishing in
front. The 30th Ohio was on the extreme
right; the 10th Ill. next on the left on the
north side of an open field, along n rail fence
running nearly due east and west, facing south.

THE CATAFAlOUE.

The catafalque to be used to-
morrow ut the funeral of the late
Royal Princess Likelike, has been
on view throughout the day. 1t is
after the style Of previous convey
ances used on similar occasions in
former years. The body of the
catafalque is neatly covered with
black cashmere, surmounted with
a pyramidical dome resting on four
pillars covered with black cloth, en-
twined with white silk ribbons. On
the top of each pillar is placed a
gorgeous black feather plume with
white tips and on the top of the
dome or covering is an immense
crown, the emblem of Royalty. At
tached to the edges is a neatly
draped fringe, looped up with white
silken bows. To the catafalque will
be attached long black covered
rope, interlaid with white ribbon,
which will be manned by hum
dred Hawaiians, who will, on this
special occasion, perform the duties
usually assigned to horses. The
whole of this workmanship has been
entrusted to the city undertaken,
Mr.. c. f. Williams, who has exc
cuted the work entrusted to him in
a highly artistic and appropriate
manner.

JOHN MOTIFS STORE.

The old established house on Ka-
ahumanu street conducted by Mr..
John Mott, is well known as one of
the best emporiums in this town for
stoves, granite, iron and tin ware.
Mr.. Motifs stock is varied and COM
prehensive, and to obtain an ap-
proximate idea of what he has on
hand, an inspection of his extensive
premises on both sides of Kaahu-
manu- street is necessary. The
housekeeper who desires to replenish
her stock of household goods and
chattels, or she who is about to en-
bark in housekeeping, and conse-
quently requires complete out
fit could not do better than
to pay q visit to Mr.. Motifs premi-
ses, where will be found in addition
to the specialties above mentioned,
chandeliers, lamps and lanterns,
water pipe and rubber hose, crock
cry ware and housekeeping goods Of
every description. The stock Of
agate ware, is large and varied,
comprising everything from the
agate-lined frying pan, to the orna-
mental tea and coffee pot. The
cooking ranges are of the latest de-
signs, and celebrated for their light
consumption Of fuel. In addition
to keeping an extensive stock, Mr..
Mott is practical plumber, tin and
copper smith, and with trained as
sistants, is prepared at all times TO
fit up ranges, lay water pipes and
execute anything connected with
the working Of tin, lead, copper or
sheet iron. The stock of general
hardware comprises every requisite
for house fittings. Our advice is, tc
all who are furnishing, to pay Q
visit to Mr.. Motifs factory and sales
rooms, No. 8, Kaahumanu street.

MUSICAL FISH.

An Italian singer is credited with
having discovered musical mode of
catching fish. He has been out on
the Lake of Geneva, and netted
them by shoals after singing to
them. Snakes have an ear for music,
and why not fish? 1t is said that
fishes have ears as sharp as the
eyes of bird. 1t is said that when
the new musical fisherman sang to
the tinny tribes they gathered
round the boat to listen to the con-
cert without paying for tickets. The
Mario of the waters had an excellent
audience, which he afterwards nett
ted and brought to shore, and sold
them to pay for their share of the
entertainment. 1t may be one of
the stories OF 'the season, but il it is
it is an Improvement upon large
gooseberries.' 1t at least opens
pleasant prospects among the
smacks. The sounds of fishermen
singing on still nights at sea will be
worth cruise to hear. Perhaps
an accordion will do for the less cul-
tivated sort of fish. A hurdy-gurdy
may suffice for the common kind.
Who knows but foghorn may be-
witch whale? Perhaps Professor
Huxley, II he be still at the head of
the Scottish Fisheries, will order ex-
periments to be made. If 1t be true,
we shall want Hullahs and Cremo-
nian violinists on the sea coast N.

the SUPPLY EXCEEDS the DEMAND.

1t is fact patent to all observers
that modern education has a tends
ency to disqualify for manual labor,
in the sense of engendering dissatis-
faction with the laborer's occupation
and lot. Boys of poor parentage,
in all countries which advance in the
line of freedom, have now school
advantages that were beyond the
reach of boys of similar station
fifty or even twenty-five years ago.
The consequence is, that in these
countries there is comparative
decrease in the number of those
willing to make livelihood by
manual labor, and proportionate
increase of those who seek living
at sedentary occupations. The de-
crease in the former is so great in
some places as to considerably in
crease the value of labor, which,
primd .fdcie, betters the condition
of that class. The increase of the
latter has got so far ahead of the
demand as to create an over-stocked
market almost everywhere, and
render it difficult for young men Of
this class to secure situations, unless
backed by the support of influential
friends.
1t appears from Messrs. j. L.
Brown & Co.'s Fortnightly Labor
Report, published in to-day's BuLLE-
TIN, that at the present time there is
a surplus of this class. of "help" in
the local market. Decent, respect
able young men, thoroughly COM
petent as accountants and book
keepers, are unable to get employ
ment at any price. The supply is
greater than the demand, and un.
fortunately most applicants for
employment of this nature arc
totally unfit for any other class of
work. They have been brought up
to pen-driving, and nothing else, and
when out of situation from any
cause whatsoever, find it hard to get
another, as there are numerous ap.
plicants for every opening that
occurs. If these people had been
taught trades or brought up tC
farming, they would have had 9
wider field in which to seek a living,
and would probably have been
grateful for it to-day. All schooling
which has tendency to imbue boys
with feeling that manual laber is
degrading, is sad blunder, and
that training which finds no other
use for boys hands than holding
pen, needs reforming.
